Lyrics
Lost soul of the dutchman’s mine,
In the desert of intrigue and the dollar sign.
Close to the town of Wickenburg
lies a legend of a man who found the gold mine.
Time blurs the story over many a year,
lives being lost and many a tear.
So here lies the tale of Jacob Waltz
And the legend of the dutchman’s mine.
The story goes that rich gold was found
high up in the mountains of superstition.
Chinese whispers mixed tales unsound
but the legend persists with each expedition
Look no further it’s likely a dream.
Superstition mountain has no gold seam.
Maybe it’s in Bulldog near Goldfield.
It’s just a legend of a gold mine
It’s just a legend of a gold mine.
Each gold mine is lost in the southern breeze.
It seems gold fever can spread like a virulent disease.
If time stood still for a hundred years,
and they prayed to God for his help divine,
they’d still recall the tale of Jacob Waltz
and the legend of the dutchman’s mine.
